Entry Requirements
º«¹úAV School enrols international students both directly and by one of our preferred Education Agents. Entry into º«¹úAV is dependent on each International student having a suitable level of English, so they can manage mainstream curriculum.
International applicants, for whom English is a second language, are required to sit a test administered by AEAS before enrolling at º«¹úAV. AEAS test results provide detail regarding the student’s English language proficiency and their general ability. The AEAS Report will be considered alongside other information provided by the family when reviewing the student’s application. AEAS Testing is available around the world, and students can register online. Alternatively, your agent will be able to assist you with the registration process. A copy of the student’s AEAS Report must be included with enrolment applications.
For further information about AEAS testing, please  or email admin@aeas.com.au
If the assessment indicates a student’s proficiency in the use of the English language is insufficient, the School will assist in referring the student to additional English study options at a recognised ELICOS institution/s.
Students must provide evidence of a satisfactory level of academic performance appropriate to the year level requested on the enrolment application.
